WOW. I wept. I don't know if I wept more for Lori, Rick, or Carl. Just wow. T-Dog, that was so messed up. Sad.
I don't get emotionally attached to these characters. I know they'll most likely all end up dead anyways, so why bother? I realized that tonight. I watch for the kill scenes and plot. And I've already given these characters everything they're going to get from me.
I can't watch a show if I don't care about the characters. I mean, it's ok not to like them (that's still an emotion) and I didn't like Lorie, but if I don't have any emotional attachment to anybody in the show, then why watch at all? You don't have to answer --Maybe it's just me.
Yeah, I have to care about the characters to some extent. Even though I didn't like Lori much, I could feel sympathy for her in the end and I definitely reacted to her death scene (being cut open, holy cow, the pain). She gave all of herself in the end, for the child.
Rick and Carl? Yeah, very sad indeed.
And T-Dog. Dammit all. I'm kind of pissed about that. I hope they reconsider letting the inmates join now. All of this because of that guy Rick left in the yard to die. The guilt he's going to feel. Oy. Let's hope this doesn't lead to a change in writing (e.g. more dramatic monologues and BS). I like the action and pacing of this season so far.
In other news, the governor is just sleazy. I can't believe Andrea is falling for this crap. Not sure Merle is going to maintain his starry-eyed attitude toward the governor, especially since he was pretty much told not to go after his brother.
The most depressing thing here is the baby. Either it will become zombie-food, or, we'll have to spend a whole episode worrying about how to feed the baby and where to get milk and whatnot. I know, this might really happen in a situation like this, but bleh.
I just cannot believe how stupid Andrea is. She annoys the crap out of me. Can they please kill her next?
I can believe it. I'd probably be the same way. It's a real town. With real people. And food. And running water. And protection. And healthcare.
I'm a little suprised 2 main cast members got offed in 1 episode, not a season finale or mis season or something. Toiok me by surprise!
Carol has to be alive, but I found it odd that they just dismissed her as dead, just because they found her head covering. Even Daryl didn't seem to care.
Speaking of Carol's head covering: doesn't it look now like the only reason she was wearing it was so that a conspicuous piece of her clothing would be left behind? Seriously, when has she ever worn any sort of headgear? (And why didn't her hair grow in the 7 or so months they were on the road? Shouldn't they all look more disheveled? And I have to say that I was stunned that Lori was able to find time to shave her pits and legs. Heh. Yeah, I know; I complained about the same thing when I watched LOST - all the women miraculously have no need to shave their armpits or their legs when they have been cut off from civilization.)
But I digress.
I didn't weep, but I did shed a tear or two. And only for Carl and Rick. I've never cared much for Lori and won't miss her.
I'll miss T-Dog more.
